agreement between the Bureau of Industry and Security, United States 
Department of Commerce (``BIS''), and Respondent Ralph Michel 
(``Michel''), then-Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Julie L. 
Myers issued an Order (68 FR 65032, Nov. 18, 2003) resolving an 
administrative proceeding against Michel pursuant to Section 13(c) of 
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended (``Act''),\1\ and the 
Export Administration Regulations (``Regulations''),\2\ based on 
allegations in a proposed charging letter that Michel had committed six 
violations of the Regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 50 U.S.C. app. 2401-2420 (2000). Since August 21, 2001, the 
Act has been in lapse and the President, through Executive Order 
13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has 
been extended by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent 
being that of July 23, 2008 (73 FR 43603 (July 25, 2008)), has 
continued the Regulations in effect under the International 
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706 (2000)) 
(``IEEPA'').
    \2\ The Regulations are currently codified in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730-774 (2008). The current 
version of the Regulations govern the procedural aspects of this 
case. The charged violations occurred in 1997. The Regulations 
governing the charged violations are found in the 1997 version of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR parts 730-774 (1997)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Among other things, the November 12, 2003 Order provided a non-
standard denial of export privileges that prohibited Michel, for a 
period of five years from the date of that Order, from participating in 
any way in any transaction involving the export from the United States 
to Pakistan of any item subject to the Regulations or in any other 
activity subject to the Regulations that involves Pakistan.
    Whereas, the November 12, 2003 Order lists Michel as ``Ralph 
Michel, Vice President, Omega Engineering, Inc., One Omega Drive, 
Stamford, Connecticut 06907'';
    Whereas, the Office of Export Enforcement, Bureau of Industry and 
Security, U.S. Department of Commerce (``OEE''), has confirmed that 
this address is no longer correct, and that Michel's current address is 
``41 Rosewood Dr., Easton, CT 06612''; and
    Whereas, as a result of the information OEE obtained regarding 
Michel's current address, OEE has requested that an order be issued 
amending the November 12, 2003 Order to reflect that new address for 
Michel;
    Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the November 12, 2003 Order 
denying Michel for five years from participating in any way in any 
transaction involving the export from the United States to Pakistan of 
any item subject to the Regulations or in any other activity subject to 
the Regulations that involves Pakistan is amended by deleting the 
address ``Vice President, Omega Engineering, Inc., One Omega Drive, 
Stamford, Connecticut 06907'', and by adding the address ``41 Rosewood 
Dr., Easton, CT 06612''. In all other aspects, the November 12, 2003 
Order remains in full force and effect.
    This Order shall be effective immediately upon publication in the 
Federal Register.

    Entered this 4th day of September 2008.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Export Enforcement.
